While looking at Sir Calix and the man he was talking to who were both standing, they looked like models while they were talking.The man shifted his gaze to my mother. “Ma’am Margaret, I've settled your hospital bill. You don’t have to worry about anything–”When the man’s gaze shifted to me, he stopped speaking.“Sir, she’s my daughter I’m talking about.” My mom introduced me to the man.The man approached me and extended his hand to me. “Hi, I’m Harrison Smith.”Smith?“And, you are?”I reached out his hand to shake hand to him. “Nathalie Davis. Nathalie.”“You know, your face looks familiar.”“My face?” I asked, wondering.He definitely didn’t see me on his social media accounts. Especially not in a news article, and certainly
NATHALIE’S POV-I instantly drop my smile.“But why…” I asked after he ended the call.It’s hard to get into Lewis company. It’s almost impossible to get into that company. Out of a hundred applicants I was with when I applied, only three of us got in.So it was heavy on my heart with just one word from a Calix Zander Watson, I lost my job after years of hard work.“You said you’d accept the consequences?” He innocently question me back.“Yes, but…” Both of my shoulders slumped.I anticipated my firing, especially given our client’s is Watson company. It’s just... I couldn’t explain myself and prove my ability to deliver the presentation.The presentation I was about to do was the first time I would speak to many people again. I have a fear of public speaking. I will try to fight this fear of mine through this presentation. But it seems like this is not for me.“Thank you.” At least my coworkers weren’t affected.Sir Calix turned his full attention back to his iP*d, while mwe, I too
NATHALIE’S POV-“How are you?” He asks.He has a lower pitch deep icy tone voice.“I’m asking you.” He asked impatiently.“Y-Yes?” I stammered.He sat down on the opposite seat. “Seat.” He ordered as he stared at my amber eyes.I was like a puppy following the owner’s orders.“You no longer experience a fever?”I stroked my neck and forehead. My body temperature was normal. I’m no longer burdened by weight.“I think I’m free from the fever. The woman who gave me food also said I no longer have a fever.”Sir Calix stood up. “I’ll send Esther again to help you get dressed. We’re going somewhere.”“Wait, I can’t waste… time…”Before I could complete my statement, he exited the room; it seemed he had heard nothing I said.I search my bag and found near the bed. Upon getting my bag I prepared to leave however, my phone rang.I took my phone first and answered the call from one of my work colleagues.“Nathalie, where are you? In two hours, the investor in the company will be here. Our fail
NATHALIE’S POV-SHE threw my clothes in my face. “I’m your only friend, so you can’t approach anyone else right now,” she shook her head while laughing. “Just tell me where you’re going to bury your mother–oops. My mistake, you’re without the means to bury your mother.”Her disrespect caused a tightness in my chest. How could she devise and utter such a statement? When my parents and her parents had a dispute and my parents kept me away from her before, my parents still treated Hazel like a daughter. Often her mother was away for work, we gave her food because her mother didn’t leave her any cooked food.She turned away but turned back and clapped her hands once. “I just remembered. The one about threatening life, I was the one who came up with it. I talked to Joshua’s creditors to threaten our lives, especially your mother, so that you can pay off the debt and that way we can get you out of our lives.”How could she do that thing?As Hazel entered the house, I picked up my clothes
NATHALIE’S POV-“What are you saying?” My eyebrows furrowed as I ask. “I signed nothing like this.”“Are you sure? Examine the divorce papers. They bear your signature.”I scan at each paper with my signature attached one by one. My whole body froze upon observing my signatures on them. No matter what I look back in the past, I have no recollection of signing such a documents. Or maybe there’s something I just didn’t notice in the amount of work I’ve been doing in recent months. There are things he makes me sign that sometimes I can’t afford to read because of the amount of work I do.“Pack your things and leave my house. I don’t want to see your face again.”“You can’t do this.”“I can and I will. Our marriage is no longer valid, so you have no right to my house,” he heartlessly said.“I have nowhere to go—”“And I don’t care.” He cut me off as if he hadn’t even listened to my plea.I recently sold the house and land my late father had given to me. I used the money I sold to pay o
